What is wrong
THESE TRUCKS WERE EQUIPPED WITH DEFECTIVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SWITCHES IN THE LOAD SPAN TAG SYSTEM. WHEN A MALFUNCTION IN THIS SYSTEM OCCURS, AXLE TO PAVEMENT PRESSURE INCREASES WHEN VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN AN UNLOADED CONDITION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE EXISTING CONTROL SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED WITH A THREE-POSITION SWITCH WHICH, BY USE OF A NEUTRAL POSITION, WILL PREVE NT PRESSURE BUILDUP. A NEW OPERATION LABEL WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
